So fellow travelers, fellow creative tribemate Deb German Young posted a photo from her recent travels to see Falling Water, the iconic Frank Llyod Wright house in Pennsylvania. The image not only caught my attention, it literally stopped me mid-scroll and I gasped out loud. “What is it?” my husband inquired as we wound through […]

… on a letter to the first owner of my second-hand dog

Birds Doing New Things
While I head out to clear snow (yes it’s still snowing on and off in March- ah Spring in Upstate NY) from my own backyard birdfeeders to keep the early spring migrants well fueled against the return of Winter-like temperatures I thought my Fellow Travelers might enjoy a trip to a bird sanctuary in warmer […]

A Different Choice
So fellow travelers, a series of winter weather fronts has laid down layers of thick ice concealed beneath pristine, powder soft coatings of fresh snow.

Digging Out
So fellow travelers, Winter Storm Harper has me spending this extended weekend digging out in more ways than shoveling snow. “Pixie Dust ?” Really, Mike Seidel? Because S*N*O*W by any other name is still a four letter word which needs to be repeatedly shoveled. When I sat down to write my end of the year […]

Poem: Even Madness Has Its Story

I was often blessed to find meaning through the writing of other members of my creative tribe. I am […]

The Final Disappearing Act
As a rescue volunteer, stories like Merlin’s always touch my soul. That he had a second chance is a gift granted by special people. I hope Dianes post inspires others to give another dog a second chance.

Roots
I’ve come back to read Tom’s piece several times, it is so thoughtful and imbued with significance for my own journey of searching for “home.” HOME has become for me more about the people in my life than a physical location, so I feel I am home regardless of where I travel to be with […]
